Amazing U.S. electoral system

With the U.S. indirect electoral system it is theoretically possible that one single vote cast for a candidate outweighs ANY number of votes cast for a different candidate. Here is how. For simplicity, let's assume there is one very big state, allotted 100 electoral votes, and a bunch of small states allotted 99 electoral votes combined. Now, if in the big state population became very lazy and only one voter came to vote... his vote will determine the outcome of elections. If ALL people in ALL other states will vote against his candidate, his candidate still wins cause she gets 100 electoral votes, while the opposing candidate can only get not more than 99 electoral votes.

In reality there is no such a big state, of course. But there is a bunch of states which, combined, have more electoral votes than all other states combined. That bunch consists of about 15 states, I believe. Therefore, in theory, in the worst case scenario, it is possible that a candidate who loses popular vote by 15 to 160000000, still wins the election.

Pretty amazing.
